KICKER: RESPONDING TO HELP THE FIRST RESPONDERS

NEIL/ANCHOR: Three months after vandals destroyed a key emergency
communications tower in Coos County, Oregon, all leads have turned
cold. The tower for the Coos Mountain Repeater, a vital resource used
by firefighters, loggers, and amateur radio operators, near the Oregon
coast, was discovered damaged after a sheriff's deputy answered a call
on June 17th, reporting an act of criminal mischief. Authorities arrived
on the site, and discovered the 150-foot tower had come down, after the
guy wires were cut. The tower was in ruins, and most of the repeaters
were destroyed.

Capt. Gabriel Fabrizio of the Coos County Sheriff's office told Newsline
that the damage, first estimated at $60,000, actually turned out to be
in excess of $100,000. The vandalism also impeded radio capability for
first responders, and others in the region, although he said that for
now, emergency communications needs are being covered.
 
He told Newsline, however, that there are no valid leads, and no one
from the public has come forward, despite several requests from the
sheriff's office.

He said he hopes that someone may yet step forward with new information
that would help in the arrest and conviction of the vandals, who would
be charged with felony criminal mischief. The office awaits a response -
this time on behalf of the first-responders themselves.
